To compile the Python scripts in Azure notebooks, we are using the magic command %run.
The first parameter for this command is the notebook path, is it possible to mention that path in a variable (we have to construct this path dynamically during the run) and use it?
myNotebookPath = '/Shared/myNotebook'
%run myNotebookPath

@Thushar R I don't think it is possible to pass the notebook path in a variable and run it with a %run.
I believe you can make use of notebook workflows. Notebook workflows are a complement to
%run
